>fxruby-users at rubyforge.org>http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/fxruby-users>Just to clear up some confusion. I believed I had installed fxruby as a
gem on my
linux (ubuntu) box, I did not. I downloaded the tarball and compiled
fxruby on that
machine. Thus no need to require rubygems when running foxGUIb.rb. It
runs fine on
the linux box with no alterations.
I'm not sure what is installed on a linux box when you install the
fxruby gem. Although
looking at the size of the gem file, there must be a precompiled version
of Fox included in that
gem.
As for your problem. Try putting in a require 'rubygems' in the example
files. Does that allow
you to run foxGUIb? Since I don't have the linux gem installed, I can't
help you much other than to
suggest making sure the ruby application knows where required files are
located. Usually if libraries are installed
in Ruby the ruby knows about all the locations of those libraries. When
you require 'rubygems', rubygems is in one of
those locations. rubygems will know where to find fox16.
